Think ill be able to pull off a hairtrick?

Hairtricks are cool for demo's
The Z's weren't identical motors, which bothered me. It would have been almost impossible to find matching 99z motors without spending thousands.

If I get the job at the local fabrication shop, I could literally blueprint a 99z and make some for a fraction of the cost.

The subs I have now are great for the price. Eventually, I probably will go back to neo, yes.

I've built more than 10 boxes. Two setups have done impressive hairtricks. He wants hairtricks, and I told him what worked for me. That's not bad information, that's telling him what WORKED to do what he wanted. Is it going to be different for the subs he has, probably.

I'm not going to 4" coils unless I do a smaller cone area build with a higher ratio 4th order wall

The two motors not matching I did not catch. Should have just traded or just bought a mate and sold the other. How much do you really lose buy vs. sell price on those? Not like they lose value, so only the cost of shipping I'd think.

10 boxes isn't a lot and what works in a WALL with DD-Z doesn't really translate into Sundown in a box in a Blazer. Not like you tested higher tuning or a bunch of different subs, and it's not like you own any sort of meter to comment on frequency response in a meaningful way. We have only very subjective evidence that this was "good" and the fact that you were talking about more power almost immediately, then tore it down and sold everything so quick leads to the suspicion that you weren't very happy with it regardless of what you say.

Expect DD to sue you blind if you tried to make knockoffs of their motors (notice even China hasn't tried it for some reason?) though it sounds like a fun project. I think you'd be surprised at the actual cost of making a neo motor all-in. Shocker Mike priced it out a few years back and doing it like he wanted would have been really steep.

[quote name='Boomin_tahoe']My enclosure is tuned to 30Hz. Should play everything....but I will find out eventually. I'm liking it so far.

Played it a little bit lastnight....can make the hairs on the arm move.

Have someone nearby that has some freq disc/some other form of frequencies that will test out my x subs.

Btw, @JPatria you guys getting hit with that Tornado/Hurricane? Saw on the news/MSN.[/QUOTE]
I think im gonna talk with CheRRyMan and see what he would recomend as this is my first build so im not as experianced as a lot of you guys. Seems like a lot of you guys recommend tuning higher though. As long as i can still hit lows around 25Hz ill be happy. As for the storm, im in St.Aug and we caught the edge of it late last night around 3am but nothing like the west side of FL.
[quote name='Jeffdachef']a lot of decaf isnt under 30hz either. Most decaf end up around 27 to 55hz. very rare do you see a 22-26hz drop and they arent that strong either so what you think you are tuning for, is a big mistake to give up the upper end. You just need it loud all around rather than being a whale note wonder. The lower you tune it, the less loud it'll get overall after a certain threshold. Because after a certain point, you are just fking up the sub setup entirely by just losing overall and not gaining anything worth a d@mn.

If you want 20-30hz stuff you need to play DJ Inclined stuff or got160s, DJ slow N throw or other artists that actually make low and powerful drops.[/QUOTE]

Tuning to 28hz is fine... Everyone likes a different sound. I have bunch of friends tuned to 25hz and they do hair tricks all day with 2 12s from a trunk. let your box builder do his thang... I also have hundreds of songs 15-40hz which a 28hz running would love all the music. I'm never tunning anything higher then 30hz ever again in my truck... Every set up I tune lower and lower and each time I love it more in more. Some people just ain't about that life style.

Some of use do this to play music. Not the molested ****

Seems to me that people wanna tune what THEY want, not what YOU (the OP) want.

Yea seems like everyones response is completely different. As i said ill talk to cherryman when my project is next in line and work it out with him. My goal is to have a decent SQ while being able to hit the low end stuff (lets say 25hz) with authority

He'll make it right, the 1st time. Seen his work. You won't be disappointed.

Although.....I thought he moved on to other things? He made an announcement about that awhile ago.

Yea i have confidence he'll hook me up right. His work looks amazing every review is great. Even from the short period of time i talked to him and set up my scheduled build he was really informative and helpful so in the end im sure ill get what i was looking for. I couldnt tell you that though, i guess he hasnt moved on if hes still willing to build me one haha.

You don't want sound quality. That is 20-20k with minimal difference in output.
